It is much easier compared to the second method, as everything is done through the graphical user interface. The first method below is for those who will use the VHD(X) for personal, non-commercial purposes. The procedure is described in this video tutorial (not an Acronis video). If you do not have enough free space, mount the VHD(X), shrink the partitions, unmount the VHD(X), then shrink the virtual hard disk itself. All the changes are saved into the VHD(X) file. It is released as soon as you shut down the VHD(X)-booted system. That free space is reserved for storing temporary changes when booting from VHD(X). Important! The local disk, where the VHD(X) file is stored, must have free space equal or larger than the total size of the physical disk in the VHD(X) image.įor instance, if the backup was taken from one or more partitions of a 500 GB SSD, then the disk, where the VHD(X) file is stored, must have 500 GB or more of free space. It is assumed that you have already created a VHD or VHDX disk image from an Acronis backup by using "Convert to VHD" option in the backup context menu.

The second method will work for Windows 7 and newer and includes bare-metal Windows VHD(X) deployment scenarios. The first method described below, requries a running Windows and will work on all versions and editions of Windows, starting with Windows XP. Finally, Windows allows deploying an operating system as VHD(X) without having to run through the entire "normal" installation procedure.Īll the above is achieved, in essense, by adding the created VHD(X) to Windows Boot Manager menu as a boot option: Another can be testing system bootability in the backup. One of them is creating a multiboot system without creating any extra partitions, similar to what Acronis OS Selector did in Acronis Disk Director 11 and older versions.

"Convert to VHD" feature allows creating VHD(X) images that can be used later for various purposes.
